hmmmm good idea to check the FI's  his is: I loved a pickle, because I can't control myself.

like  rollercoasters?

From one Christina to another....you will start checking things off of your list in no time, so don't worry. We set up a wedding website that included all of the travel details (different price options for different types of rooms, optional travel dates, etc.). For the actual invitations it was in 2 parts: 1st part contained the actual wedding information (date, time, location, etc.), and the 2nd part contained information on when group travel rates were booked for and recommended contacting our travel agent (with her contact info listed) to book. Our wedding website was also listed on the invite. Hope that helps! Â

Sounds like your bridal party will absolutely love the personalized bags...what a really thoughtful and sweet touch. Thanks so much for sharing the great idea. I also love the survey/questionnaire idea. Â

Wow Ashley our stories really are similar! I also asked my Aunt to be MOH. She is the baby of the family (my mother is the oldest) and just a couple of years older than I am and we have been close since I was a baby. Your situation and mine with the MOH are just way too similar! Very glad to hear that your MOH is now the perfect person and one less thing for you to worry about with wedding planning. Â

as someone currently going through the process of booking a photographer, I greatly appreciate all of the tips provided. You ladies are the best!

Ashley, I am 100% in the same boat. I'm so sad/happy to hear that someone else can relate to this situation. My MOH also will not be attending my wedding, as she is now pregnant. While this is great news for her, my confession is that I secretly wonder if it is true or just an excuse to get out of the wedding? How sad is that?!? The thing is she doesn't talk about the pregnancy at all (even when its just the two of us), and always quickly changes the topic when it is brought up. At a recent function, I confess that I even watched to see if she drank any alcohol (she didn't). I too was the friend that has been there to support her through everything, but have not remotely received the same in return. Â In the end, it has been a blessing in disguise, as I now have the MOH I should have had in the first place....some who is excited to have been chosen for MOH and is very excited for the wedding and her friend. Hopefully you will find the same results too! Â

Ellabaja, what "big" gift are you giving your bridal party? I'm currently scouting out some options for the girls.

what I am failing to concentrate on :: diet

 That Thing You Do = Tom Everett Scott

I'm in about the same position as Brandy, having booked the rooms and flights, sent out the STDs, completed invitations, and I'm in the process of confirming our photographer and getting initial quotes from the florist. Haven't even begun to look at dresses or wedding bands yet. It's actually amazing how quickly things start to come together and get "checked off the list". Â
